Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 can (14.75 oz / 418g) cream-style sweet corn, undrained
  • 1 can (15.25 oz / 432g) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 large (50g) egg, beaten
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a larger bowl, combine the undrained cream-style corn and the beaten egg.
  3. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just blended; do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the drained whole kernel corn for added texture.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
  6. Drop the batter by ⅛ cupfuls into the hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until they reach a deep mahogany-colored gold.
  7. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and place them immediately on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
